GRAY --
Rev. Merle Porter Gray, 87, died October 1, 2010. He died of natural causes. His favorite comment was "I'm 87 and ready for heaven." He was born in Warren Pennsylvania on March 12, 1923 to Ralph and Genevieve Gray. The Gray family consisted of 12 children who helped on the farm on Yankee Bush Road. At the age of 15, Merle felt called to be a minister. He attended Eastern Nazarene College where he met his wife Alma Ruth Walker. They were married in 1946 and they began their ministry in the Nazarene Church in the same year. 40 of the 50 years Merle spent in ministry were spent serving the American Indians of Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico. He spent 30 years as principle and then superintendent of the Nazarene Indian Bible College located in the South Valley of Albuquerque. During this time he attended UNM and received his Masters degree in education. After retiring from the ministry, Merle and Ruth continued to attend the First Indian Church of the Nazarene where his students, Rev. Julian and Bernita Gunn are pastors. His service to the Indian people was never a job but a deep passionate love. Merle will always be remembered for his constant joking. He could find something humorous in almost anything. He very rarely complained and accepted life as God presented it to him. In his last years he enjoyed singing songs he wrote, watering his yard and watching the hummingbirds from his front porch, while holding his little shadow," Little Bit". He would say his job was just to sit and hold his little dog all day! Merle is survived by his daughter Judy and her husband Jim Boren of Albuquerque, Ralph and wife Larae Gray of Yuma Arizona, and was preceded in death by his son Merle Porter Gray Jr. of Albuquerque. His grandchildren are Kevin and Keith Leamons, Roxanne Houston, Rebecca Gray, Rachelle Bondora, and Susanna Gray; Jennifer Otero and Christopher Gray. He is also survived by 11 great-grandchildren. Merle is survived by his eight brothers and sisters: Wendell Gray of Stanley, New York, Melvin Gray of Georgia, Paul Gray of Florida, Rachel Chandler, Broadview NM, Russel Gray, Grand Junction Co, Jim Gray of Warren Pa, Dorian Gray of Nashville Pa, and Madeline Colvin of Warren Pa. The family will receive friends on Wednesday, October 6, 2010 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at Riverside Funeral Home. The funeral service will be held Thursday, October 7, 2010 at 10:30 a.m., at Riverside Funeral Home. Interment will follow at Sunset Memorial Park.

He was a self taught guitar player and amazing singer who admired Elvis, Hank Williams, and other country stars.

Mr. Maes served in the U.S. Air Force, enlisting at age 17 and celebrated his 18th birthday in basic training at Sheppard AFB, Texas. He proudly volunteered to serve in the Korean conflict and completed his tour in Chin Hae, Korea. He was honorably discharged as a three stripe Airman, First Class in 1955. To the day he died, he proudly displayed Korean War memorabilia, and his service medals. He loved to wear a Korean War service cap given to him by his son, Edward. During his time in the service his relationship with Nena grew from friend to "Novia". He was married to the love of his life, Nena Tenorio (Magdalen Maes) the day after Christmas, 1955. They were wonderful dancers, and at every family occasion their family loved to watch them dance the polka. Eddie attended Draughn's Business school and St. Joseph's College. He began his 25 year career at Kirtland AFB as a Civil Servant. In the next decades Eddie and Nena's family grew to include four children; sons' and daughters' in-law; 13 grandchildren; and five great grandchildren. During retirement Eddie enjoyed volunteering his time at UNMH as a baby cuddler and spent time traveling and relaxing at the penny slot machines. He returned to the work force as an elementary school crossing guard for many years until his health forced him to give up the job he truly loved. He is known to the family as "the favorite uncle"' because of his love of children and he lost many arm wrestling contests to them. He is also survived by two sisters and one brother.
